Gracias, Allegro. No theology here; it's a civil marriage and the official merely formalized the desire of the parties. Now they have backed out of it.
agree MollyRose : I also would say "before whom"

Por lo general, en los certificados o actas de matrimonio, la expresión es la siguiente:

I hereby certify that the above named groom and bride were joined by me in marriage in accordance with the laws of the state of ___.

"certify": certificar, dar fe, dejar constancia.

Podría haber sido también: "who solemnized the marriage..."
Peer comment(s):

disagree Henry Hinds : ¿Qué quiere decir "certified"? De hecho los casó y además inscribió el matrimonio.
